I think that in general we can start eyeing a lot of similar verbosity
in all of our drivers, both at boot and at runtime.  For example most
nic drivers print out their MAC and all of their possible negotiation
rates on attach.  This same info can be obtained from ifconfig.  Why
clutter the boot with it?
